  • Fantastic.

  • Thanks Daniel,doing gigs alone,it's possible with this style,greets Vic.

  • Hahaha, never done gigs alone....

  • Daniel it's about time you did,you'll learn a lot bout yourself and the audience, quite something else than this digital happening (which is also nice of course )

  • Well, I did a lot of gigs so far, but never really liked them. Never able to play what I want, and here I can do just that!! Best wishes ~ Daniel

  • Daniel,you're the one who's in control when you're playing alone ,no-one there telling you what you have to play,you decide for yourself,if they don't like, hand them your guitar and say,try doing this yourself ,greets Vic.

  • True, but people, the audience, they want to hear some songs that I don` t really like. And here I play the songs I like.

  • Daniel,yeah you're talking requests,I know what you mean, plus the fact that some people think you know any song by Heart and an instant arrangement, here comes Daniel the Jubox,lol, just kidding,Vic.

  • awesome sir :D

  • Thanks suleimanswaleh,always welcome,Vic.

  • I am stumbling upon more interesting videos of yours on here Vic. I enjoyed this latin arrangement and also the transposed key very much! Thanks.

  • Thanks jazzcat67, I myself re-studied this arrangement this evening, thanks for remembering me,Vic.

  • Bravo!!! Thanks !!!

  • Thanks Tarnatalia, you're always welcome,glad you enjoyed,Victor.

  • it's wonderful how samba speaks by itself it's like ou can hear the words from the guitar, but it is also sad that here in Brazil the greatest players don't get the recognition they deserve. Anyway, I hope you keep on spreading wonderful music through the internet and every possible media, great job Vic 5*

  • Shadomal,it's true what you say,relatively Baden Powell was only well known under Musicians, a terrific player, people have to start listening more seriously, when will that happen? greets Vic.

  • I enjoyed it as always u da man,,,,,,,

  • Thanks a lot ;always welcome.Vic.

  • The samba feel works great on this my friend, it's so relaxing

    5****....mel

  • Thanks Mel, I once studied a book from Brazilian guitarist, Nelson Faria with great Bossa and Samba examples,kinda incorporated this feel in this Tune,glad you enjoyed the outcome,gr Vic.

  • After listening to the first seconds i thought "wow, there is a strong latin feeling in his playing", but then i read the description and i understanded why.

    Is great to hear this classic played in a different style. thanks for sharing, i enjoyed this very much.

    greetings, Roberto.

  • Thanks Roberto, it's true what you say, for many years I've lived in Curacao (Netherlands Antilles) where I heard so many different latin styles,of course this influences my musical way of thinking. All the best,thanks for your visit,Vic.

  • Hi Vic,

    Very nice arrangement ! Actually I'm in the process of putting together my own arrangement after watching videos of Per-Olov Kindren and HanzP. Will have my version soon on video. Anyway, 5**** for you my friend!

  • Thanks kchan9999 for dropping in and commenting,those guitarists you mention are good players,people who have something to say on their instruments. I like your arrangements as well,tasteful,musical and a good sound,greetings Vic.

  • Thanks Tony,I've been missing you man,seriously. You haven't posted for a while,brother I know that's no big deal,people get accustomed to free entertainment which is wrong,so I'd say only post when you actually have something to say, glad you dropped in brother,I'll be hearing from you,Vic.

  • Hi Vic, lovely job on this. You give it a sort of bossa nova lilt that really works well.

  • That was wonderful! All your beatles one's are so great (and your other ones too obviously) and like I said before, looks effortless for you :)

    ooh, you should do "while my guitar gently weeps" or "I've just seen a face", those are nice

  • Thanks looneyliina, I've done "while my guitar",look between my uploads and you'll find it. Yes the Art is: Letting it seem effortless, the difficulty exists only when one grabs a guitar and tries to play them,that will need serious practicing. Greets Vic.

  • Lovely rendition of this beautiful classic. 5+ stars.

  • Thanks Chuck&Deb glad you enjoyed and dropped this fine comment,always welcome Vic.

  • Hi Vic, ein wunderschön entspannendes Arrangement hast du geschrieben. Hört sich leicht und schwebend an, mit schönem Wechsel zum Schluss.

    5***** und liebe Grüße,

    Günter

  • Thanks Guenter, I understand your comment only can't respond in German, I appreciate your kind words very much, all the best Vic.

  • Victor,

    A very beautiful arrangement as usual but the tune and your arrangement is unusual as well. The Beatles were very underrated in many ways as well as the input from George Martin, they could have been very sucessful in playing pop like all the other British bands but had so much more to give than that. You have captured that playfulness that so typified them. Great work!

    Rich

  • Thanks Rich,always giving me top notch comments, really appreciate that. Listening to this fine tune I immediately recognized a sort of Samba feel to it, bass on 1 and 3 and syncopated melody against it(not so easy to play). Yes if you listen well to those guys they had a rich harmony and wonderful theme's going on,later bands like Blur and Oasis appeared but of course musically can't stand in their shadow. Their repertoire is un-doubtfully quite unique,especially their later work,Vic.

  • Very nice and smooth, Vic. That little flaw on the G#m is not worth mentioning. But whats worth mentioning is the modulation at 1:30. Is that part of the original? I haven't that in my ear. In any case it's great!!! Greetings, Jogi

  • Thanks Jogi, man I love the Beatles repertoire,of course as an old guy I grew up with them, but their themes and progressions are damn fine,good material to work with always.the modulation is original they did that too,going up a half step to Gm(add9). And that slightly out of tune chord has it's charm, I agree. greetings Vic.

  • Ah, great to hear. I must admit that I have a tendency to underestimate the harmonic power of their compositions! They knew what they do, wow. But now wonder it's YOU who makes me listen...

  • Jogi, as you might agree there's lots of good Music and lot's of Trash, never under-estimate the influence George Martin had as a Classical trained producer on the Beatles,this was immense, I think he molded their rough Ideas into beautiful progressions and forms and Mc-Cartney is one of the best bass men with his great use of chord-inversions up to this day,very creative indeed.People who say it's outdated simply aren't listening and understanding what's happening,Vic.

  • Sound like Vic Harrison .. : ) hehehehe!! Good job Vic !!

  • Thanks Sirone, only george didn't combine the bass,melody and harmony on one guitar, three Beatles did that job, greets Vic.

  • @Jazzguts Hehe! Nice two Jazzguts hands work ;o)#

  • Yeah and my third imaginative hand which is my brain,lol, Greets Vic.

  • Als de drie Beatles die je noemde maar dan anders ;o)#

    Groetjes, Marc

  • Beautiful! Thank You!

  • Thanks reno,for your nice reaction,Vic.

  • I have to say it's Amazing

  • Thanks Galamizrahi, for your warm words,Vic.

  • Oh yeah, every time I need to relax, or just stop thinking about stuff, I listen to your music and I feel better already!

  • Good one, Vic! I have the same problem (bad intonation with Capo #2) with one of my guitars. Like the arrangement though. A Lennon - Mc Cartney samba! Greets, Wouter

  • Thanks Wouter, somehow the capo presses down the strings too hard and causes a friction in intonation,the higher you play the more it's audible,although the frets aren't very high on this guitar,a little surprise coming up with Bob for your birthday,but you probably heard about that already, greets Vic.

  • Very nice arrangement Victor . Great style and attitude . I like also the smooth transition into the modulation . It sounds very nice with a second fret

    capo . Rather enjoyable piece Viktor ! Musical greetings , Igor

  • Thanks Igor for listening and commenting, loved your Californication you did put in some nice inventions there to make it work, greets Vic.

  • Beatufil arrengement and playing , as always...

  • Thanks Gabriel,glad you enjoyed my version,gr Vic.

  • Mooi stukkie Vic.. Erg prettig om naar te luisteren door de controle van het ritme..

  • Dank,Sjaak, daar draait het helemaal om,controle van het Ritme, als dat niet goed is,sla je de plank volkomen mis, geld natuurlijk voor alle vormen van muziek,gr Vic.

  • Very nice Vic!

  • Thanks dereksmalls, glad you liked it,I had a ball playing it,Vic.

  • Just a pleasure to listen to!

  • Thanks Larosity glad you did,greetigs Vic.

  • Wonderschoon, Victor.

    Heartiest regards from my soul to your soul !

  • Well said Joep, thanks,how is the practice of Zen getting along,are you still on your path? greets Vic.

  • Yes I am, Sensei !

  • Good I see your cup is empty,now you can learn,Vic.

  • Nice arrangement and nice sound guitar ... I liked the open chords ...nice I play it in a different way... nice once again.....greetings from Aruba

  • Thanks Antonio, I've heard quite some versions but making my own versions is the most rewarding for me, than I can personally mold the tune to a personal thing,greets Vic.

  • very nice arrangement

    the high chord doesn't sound too bad. I think it is a G# though, not F#.

    Either way, well played

  • Thanks uncleparsnip, you're right it's a G#mi7 chord,thanks for listening,greets Vic.

  • great arrangement beautifully played

  • Thanks snarfer, for being here and listening,Vic.

  • Nostalgic :')

  • Hi emamonti, so is Fernando Sor, probably much more,I love nostalgia and above all guys from whatever time in evolution who can compose a decent theme,greets Vic.

  • geweldig vic..:)

  • Dank je Joop, de bass en alles verder syncoperen toch niet zo gemakkelijk (is juist een uitdaging) groet Vic.

  • ik weet wat dat is...maar al moet je op je hoofd erbij staan als het nerges naar klinkt dan sla je toch de plank mis..;..maar het klinkt mooi..

  • Joop,jij hebt het helemaal door,er zijn vele andere factoren die meespelen,ritme,harmonie, wat gebruik je als wisselbas etc, je bent een zeer goede musicus,groet Vic.

  • beautiful rendition. I think the slight out of tune nature gives a distinct character to the piece.

  • Thanks Frets200, now I'm listening back I can agree with you on that point,gr Vic.

  • Beautiful , nice one mate

  • Thanks Jad, succes with Riff contest, Vic.

  • Hey VIC what a lovely tune, as the sun rays shine on you with the beauty of your music, it couldn't be better arrange by GOD, moreover, your arrangements are so beautiful as well. I am off to Las Vegas NM, to see some old and dear friends, I will try to borrow a PC to check on you Peace be with you my good friend.

    Henry Q

  • Thanks Henry, for always checking me out and commenting, have a great time with your friends,take a peek on the PC now and then,greets Vic.

  • Really nice arrangement Victor. I like this song as well.

  • Thanks Andy, though in minor a very uplifted composition,Vic.

  • The ending is a nice touch. So positive!

    Sounds great! :))

  • Thanks pucins, a minor tune ending in major (picardian third) always gives an uplifted character,gr Vic.

  • no need for a bass player here.you did a nice job on this one Vic!

  • Thanks freddym223,it's hard playing like this in the beginning but I'm getting a hang on it ,thanks for your comment,greets Vic.

  • Hi Vic,

    may I have the next samba please :-)

    So many men in my family and nobody likes dancing :-(

    Yes, I enjoy this samba with the cool bass notes very much!

    5 stars und tschüß - Sabine

    P.S. Do you like to watch my new video?

  • A Samba with you my lady? You bet Sabine,I'll dance so much that your husband will get jealous and he'll start taking dancing lessons himself,lol. I'll be over in a minute and have a good listen,hug my lady,Vic.

  • Very good idea Vic :-)

    I´m looking forward to your next dancing music...

    Big hug my friend - Sab

  • but hey sometimes its really annoying when a string gives diferent pitches as you play up in the fretboard. I bought a set of high tension strings very bright and percusive but the 1st string use to give diferent pitches while playing higher notes so at 7 fret would sound awful same as at 12 fret. I was almost no way to play any song using 1 string.

    So maybe its not the capo but the strings.

    But I agree it sounded good

  • Yeah,Soulmony, on an electric guitar you can change the length of the strings and place them in perfect pitch, now I'm waiting on the first acoustic guitar without fixed length,so I can adjust the length myself, if none comes on the Market I'll go to a guitar-builder with these Ideas myself,lol,greets Vic.

  • You are even more anal about tune than I am, Vic. I agree that an out of tune guitar is the easiest way to make a respectible performance sound amateurish.\

    That said, it didn't sound too bad to me. Had you not mentioned it, I wouldn't have even noticed it.

  • Ha ha Justin,there is a saying: mankind suffers more of his thoughts then the actual reality, that surely is the case here my friend, I'm to darn picky bout everything,thanks for setting me back on the ground,Vic.

  • Capo or no capo it still sound great Vic.

    That was beautiful maestro, I love that song and your playing.

    Take care Vic.

  • Welcome Edwin, thanks I'm just like you always doing my best,sometimes I hear other players like Tommy Emanuel an Jan Akkerman (Dutch virtuoso) then I better remain a humble guy, Vic.

  • hi vic great and very interesting version of this classic tune, great idea this samba version, will ask my wife from brasil for dancing,lol, remembers me a little bit the concerts from bob dylan, he sometimes makes a reggaeversion from knocking on heavens door and changes his original songs total, 5 ****** and i send you for videoresponse my try long time ago in a normal fingerpicking version

  • Thanks Friedl, I see your wife dancing in-front the PC already,lol. Yeah Bob wrote some very nice tunes and he's still active. I heard some tracks from his new CD and they where very Bluesy I must say,nice. Send that video and I'll look at it. Glad you enjoyed my arrangement,this deserves a Jack Daniels Amigo,lol,greets Vic.

  • I don't know where to start.

    Love the harmony!

    Voicing at 1:12 is a tasty surprise and closes out the middle 8 quite well.

    The Samba style works very well with this tune. You manage to keep it moving. The bass lines support the harmony.

    Very rich and classy ending.

    Vic,

    There is allot of good stuff going on here. This goes straight away to my Favs.

    Well done maestro!

    allen

  • Welcome maestro Allen, these are first class comments which I cherish. The chord is a B13(7 and 9 included). I'm starting to get so much respect for Chet Atkins and Tommy Emanuel who both have the steady bass (on 1 and 3 in the beat) and placing a syncopated melody line against that. I see many guys imitating him but not placing their own imagination in the Music, that's what i like bout your playing you're doing your own thing. Thanks for favoring this tune,greets Vic.

  • Vic,

    Tommy's arrangements can be a real bitch sometimes.

    I was learning "The Hunt". The runs are easy but there is one measure that drives me crazy. The top voice has dotted quarter notes. The base (or second) voice is played with straight eighth notes.

    Check out his video of that tune.

    Cheers,

    allen

  • I will do that Allen, I'm always listening to everybody, I know he's an incredible player with a personal style, greets Vic.

  • Vic,

    When you listen check out measure 37. Dot eights top straight eights bottom voice.

    I wonder what color the sky is on Tommy's home planet :O).

    allen

  • Thanks Allen, I,m sorry got back so late to your generous offer(the score) now I see you sent it to me, thanks I'll certainly look at it and check out measure 37. I was just looking at the Dutch virtuoso "Jan Akkerman" have heard him play,that guy is Far out man, both on acoustic and eletric,his color is purple and green mixed together,in other words you'd better close your eyes and listen.lol,Vic.

  • Excellent Vic!

  • Thanks Jake, I looked very good at your Jazz education Vid in Spain,very thorough my friend you're an excellent player and teacher with great concepts, greets Vic.

  • Beautiful! See a lot of Chet Atkins style in your playing :-)

  • Thanks Mike, glad you enjoyed my arrangement,also thanks for your mail which I'll soon reply,cheers Vic.

  • Very sweet job...lots of Beatles stuff around yt and this is top quality.

  • Thanks Paul, glad you enjoyed,and their legacy goes on and on, that's what get when you write great songs. Greets Vic.

  • And I love that....!

  • Thanks Organicpaul, for your listen,cheers Vic.

  • What a joy this is to listen to! You are such a fine player -you pull out the melody so well yet maintain that great 2 in a bar bass line with great chord voicings in the middle.Very effective key change too and the rhythm is just sooo great! Bravo!!!

  • Thanks for your visit Colin, you're hearing everything my friend you're a good musician,I can tell right away after all these years of playing. The guitar is like the piano, an orchestral instrument, everything is lying at your finger-tops,rhythm,melody,harm­ony,all elements of Music. Greets Vic.

  • Love this rendition, Vic. Your strings always sound sweet and the sound immaculate,

    as always! You just are a pure delight!! ~Terry

  • Thanks Terry,glad you enjoyed my light Samba, thanks for sending "Besa me mucho" I'll have a listen later on, cheers Vic.

  • Well Vic I gave you 5 stars, but 40 other people beat me to it........ Great stuff. I keep making mistakes on my chord melody to record anything ! the longer I play the pickier i'm getting.

  • Thanks Dorian,I know what you mean, well I just play till I reach a point and I feel it's not going to get any better, than it's recording time. gr.Vic.

  • I love this song...and just reading the last comment...It would be wonderful to dance on..Wonderfully played...it makes one happy:-)

  • Thanks Rineke, you're right although it also has a melancholy touch the overall setting is bright and cheerful and of course you can always swing nicely to a light Samba groove,greets Vic.

  • Sounds great in a samba.

  • Thanks turkamine, it's as if the piece was composed for it,gr Vic.

  • Fine! Nice touch, to have the B section an octave higher.

  • Thanks Pablo, it's been a while, are you busy with new material? All the best hope to see a nice Vid from you soon,always enjoy your playing,Vic.

  • What's there to be said that hasn't been said before?  A beautiful rendition of a classic Beatles tune played with precision, fluidity and finesse. ***** and fav'ed.

  • Thanks Jeff for your thoughtful words, see you have some nice Classical stuff on your channel,will check it out soon. Are you busy with tunes yourself ?Greetings Vic.

  • Good evening Vic. Grrrrreat arrangement. And I love the bass line in the opening! You're the best!

    Thank you my friend!

    Per-Olov

  • Thank you Per for listening,it means a lot coming from a fantastic musician like you,for whom I have the greatest admiration, I know you've done quite some nice Beatles arrangements yourself. thanks for your visit,greetings Vic.

  • Very nice Vic

    Great arrangement my friend 5*****

    Claude

  • Thanks Claude for dropping in, I'll be over to listen to your new one,greets Vic.

  • perfect, as you always do victor.

    Wish i could be so skilled to play the guitar in that way, sadly i don't even have time to practice.

  • ehypersonic, thanks, for dropping in and listening,well you're hear listening that's very positive,all the best and keep getting inspired,greets Vic.

  • Vic,

    I like the capo and voicings, with the ability to play an alternating bass line and stay in the original key. The genius of Chet Atkins is the abilty to take complex arrangements, move them on the neck to facilitate the voicings in there simplest form. Well done, I enjoy your fingerstyle tunes.

    Regards,

    Carl

  • Thanks Carl, yes Chet and the later Tommy Emanuel have great freedom between the alternating bass and at the same time syncopating melody and harmony, in the beginning quite difficult but I think it has become a second nature for them to think in this way, Vic.

  • And I love your interpretations, this is no exception :)

  • Thanks junka22, glad to hear that man, for me it's the most interesting to do,just adding some Musical fantasy here and there,most rewarding,and it's falling in good soil,I see,Vic.

  • This sounds great Victor!!

  • Thanks Ruben for your enthusiasm, nice hearing from you,how is your guitar practice getting along? friendly Vic.

  • Hey Victor,

    I just finished learning your arrangement of "No Woman No Cry" Very fun. Keep them coming

  • Thanks Ruben,would be nice see you playing one of my arrangements,give it a try and post one, I'm very curious. Greets Vic.

  • PS did you catch my acoustic piece I just uploaded? Thought I should soften things up a bit for a change :)

  • Love the sunlight on this :) Perfect compliment to your brilliant sound and beautiful fingerwork :) fantastic!

  • Thanks James,always a warm welcome here, I just listened to your new acoustic piece from Maestro Eric Johnson,very good,lot's of fruitful work in there and you pulled it of in great musicianship and joy,fantastic my friend,Vic.

  • that's fantastic! all sweet.... no bitter ;)

  • Thanks yamitanomura, always welcome, you're right a "Love Song" cuts through the ages, from the inside-out my friend, warm regards,Vic.

  • Hey Vic

    If I so see you play, I think, it's really wonderful to hear and see. To me you are a good guitarist and very instructive. 5***** Thanks for share

    Cheers

    William

  • Thanks William for always being here,I'm ashamed I haven't brought you a visit yet, very soon now my friend, greets Vic.

  • This awesome another great beatles song

  • Thanks Jake,you're right I never heard a bad Beatles tune,Vic.

  • It happened to me once that some notes were out of tune a bit and I thought it was my guitar having some flaws at the construction. I changed the strings and it sounded perfect XD !

    This song has a lot of bossa nova rythm in it doesnt it. Your arrangement has alot of flavor an maybe just a bit faster will also do great.

  • Thanks Soulmony,an interesting comment you made, very welcome, it could be strings but I have the feeling that the capo was not placed totally right and that also can have an effect on the sound-pitch. I thought the rest was played with the right feel so I accepted this flaw, I think I'm suffering more from it than the listeners.And yes it's a Bossa feel,I love that style,I'll try it slightly faster see how it works, friendly greetings Vic.

  • Hey Vic,

    nice to see yo with a new great video!! Your arrangement is fantastic!! And as always wonderful sound and awesome playing!! You got the feeling for the Samba!! I enjoy it very much!! Have a nice evening and a big hug Sarah :-)

  • Thanks Sarah, big hug for you too, and for always checking me out. You know I grew up in Curacao (Netherlands Antilles) and there it was a melting pot of so many latin styles,I'm glad I grew up there it was a rich foundation for further development,greets mein Madchen,Vic.

  • Mooi nummer Vic.. Goeie baslijn ook.

  • Hoi sjaak,dank je, die baslijn is bedriegelijk hij moet op 1 en 3 vallen (Bossa-Samba) terwijl je de melodielijn er tegen-in moet spelen,eerst zwaar denken en later gaat het op gevoel, dan komt de swing erin,Vic.

  • Hi Vic, I´m a Beatlemaniac! Thank you for this great version! Really very nice, cool sound! And the chromatic step 1 higher included!

    5***** Best wishes, Frank

    P.S. Did you get my message of the originals channel of mine "LONGWINDING"?

  • Thanks a lot Frank, this looks easy but the syncopation of melody against bass ain't, learning lot with this stuff, yeah I agree the Beatles always top-notch material to work with,those chaps could compose man. I think "LongWinding got lost somewhere,is that a new channel of yours?please re-send the invitation,I'm always curious what senor Frank is doing(it's always cool) don't forget mi Amigo,Vic.

  • Yes you´re right,Vic, they did a lot of very intelligent and (at the same time) beautiful stuff. And you added your great playing to it.

    Longwinding, that´s my channel for my originals only, some of the older ones (had a lot of requests) and of course a lot of new tunes!

    See you, Frank

  • Wonderful Beatles tune, love your version

    Dziepie

  • Thanks dziepiejazz, it's a fine and melodic composition something that always draws the attention,greets Vic.

  • Erg mooi Vic,deze fingerstyle nummers moet je op blad muziek zetten,dan kan je veel centjes verdienen,ik ben de eerste die het boek koop,awesome Buddy ,gr Kees.

  • Kees bedankt, ik ben precies daarmee bezig alleen nog niet in boekvorm,ik heb wel veel eigen (finger-style) arrangementen verkocht aan enthausiaste gitaristen, ook hier op YT. Het idee van een boek is ook goed. Groetjes Vic.

  • beautiful Victor you can't go wrong with a Beatles tune well done as always 5*

  • Thanks woodytfc, oh yes the Beatles are very rich in harmonic and melodic textures, very good Stuff, greets Vic.

  • I love this arrangement Victor. Awesome. Nadine

  • Nice ! I like the Samba style. I watch all of your videos.

  • Thanks jetking2,yes indeed the Samba and other brazilian types of rhythms are great to learn and use,greets Vic.
